You Can Find Interesting Things Watching Movie Credits

I always try to see the credits after movies and many times it pays off with some good information.

Such was the case after “Field of Dreams” aired on TCM yesterday.

The credits revealed that the assistant baseball advisor/coach on the movie was former major league player, Don Buford. Good memories come to mind.

Don is best known as the leadoff hitter on some great Baltimore Orioles’ teams. The O’s won three consecutive pennants and one World Series from (1969-1971).

He lead off the bottom of the first inning in game one of the 1969 World series with a home run.

His former Chicago White Sox teammate, Tommie Agee did the same in game three playing for the New York Mets.

Another former White Sox teammate and 1969 Mets player, Al Weis hit the tying home run in game five.
